I have to wonder what is with this trend lately of trying to blame the **** victim for being *****?

"Defendants allege that Plaintiff was herself careless and negligent in and about the matters alleged in the complaint, and that said carelessness and negligence on said Plaintiffâs part proximately contributed to the happenings of the incident and to the injuries, loss and damages complained of, if any there were . . . .

[Alternatively, d]efendants allege that Plaintiff was herself responsible for the acts and damages of which she claims herein, and by reason thereof is estopped from obtaining any damages as result thereof.

Just in case this dry legal language is not clear, the school district claims that Cunnane was âherself responsibleâ for the fact that she was repeatedly sexually abused by her school teachers, beginning at age 12. Or, just in case a jury wonât buy that claim, that she was âcareless and negligentâ in the matter of her own ****.

[quote]Maybe the real question here is:
Was it a legitimate ****?[quote] I'm note sure on the **** part but in some form or fashion It involes with legal matters so in the first place all offenders have possibility of being charged

"If guns kill people, then pencils misspell words, cars drive drunk, and spoons make people fat."


and sexy looking closes are a cry to get *****.

people who mis-use their power are the reason why i believe in karma and reincarnation.

District lawyer said:

"was herself responsible for the acts and damages of which she claims,""Carelessness and negligence on (Cunnane's) part proximately contributed to the happenings of the incident and to the injuries, loss and damages,""It is imperative that all possible defenses be raised at this point in time. As more facts become known, the district will then reassess its defenses,"


Here's the district's legal response, for anyone interested in it.

I am interested in karma too because while I can do little about the case that initiated this thread I think that I will benefit from the appropriate way of thinking about this matter, and that it's worth working out.
